In the rectangle is the October theme image with the cover of Make Room for Love on the bottom left and the cover of And They Were Roommates on the bottom right.

#Posttober25 Day 8

I’ve been trying to do colored versions of some of the B-SIDE You track covers! Here’s Track 5 :D

A predominantly red illustration of a young brunette man with glasses seated before the keys of a piano. He holds his hands over it tentatively, looking apprehensive. Behind him, shrouded behind a spotlight, are two thin young men standing back to back. On the left is a blonde man in a white shirt holding a camera and looking over his shoulder out at the viewer. On the right is a guy with a big fluffy mohawk haircut, wearing a red vinyl catsuit a la Britney Spears in the “Oops! I Did It Again” music video. The text at the bottom of the page, under the piano keys, is dark red and says "B-SIDE YOU"

5. What do they enjoy about their disability?

Nothing about the endo and adeno. But the adhd helps her solve complex theorems and even consider scientific possibilities that other people wouldn't even consider joining the dots on

got this stunning piece from @sephiramy.bsky.social of the two leads from my novel dressed as Utena and Anthy! Utena was one of our big inspirations, so what better way to pay homage while getting in the Halloween spirit?

Art of Kōgōmi Martyn and Mischa Rosenthal dressed as Utena Tenjou and Anthy Himemiya from Revolutionary Girl Utena. they’re dancing with Kōgōmi trying to lead, glaring at Mischa with an annoyed look on her face as they smugly smile back at her.

This is the first thing I bought with my first paycheck. I grew up in a household that barely scraped by so I didn’t get anything until I could buy it myself

Every day when I come home I think "maybe?"

But it's always no. And I think it will always be no.

Serves me right i guess.

But do I really want it to be yes?

Dunno...

(Sorry for the vague post but it has been A DAY)

4. Hardest tasks?

Focusing and not spiralling.

Her grip on reality when her c-PTSD is triggered.

Anything remotely physical during an endo flare (she faints unexpectedly when it gets too much), sitting OR standing for long periods - she has to swap constantly or her legs ache

3. How visible are they?

To look at Mads you would have no idea how much she fights with her own brain or the amount of pain her body is in on the reg. She seems to put together but every day is a quiet struggle.

2. When and how did this occur?

Most is just bad luck of the genetic draw, but the c-PTSD comes from her asshole dad. Her dad hates her older brother Dean and replaced him with their half-brother Darcy when he walked out on the family. She was 9.

1. Disabilities?

Mads has undiagnosed adhd, anxiety, c-PTSD, dissociative episodes, endometriosis and adenomyosis.
